Does anyone recommend any ffmpeg GUIsI'm having difficulty using ffmpeg in DOSHave goggled it a bit one that was recommended on a site was AvantiAlso read about microvideo convertor on the KR Pano site is that similar program

AME is not a suitable alternative, in my opinion, it creates sub-par mp4, with far more compression artifacts at a higher rate than necessary.on the mac side, http://iffmpeg.com is working nicely.for windows, you could try http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-win.html (not exactly a full fledged ffmeg gui), but avanti seems to be a favorite in the forums, so I'd go with that, or maybe winFF.

Thanks Joergen.Will use avanti. I had installed fmpeg OK but couldn't access it . Might be related to the directory its on.In the meantime had been using Quick time to join videos that span multi clips as it has a pass through function.Also read on this forum of handbrake being used is that necessary if you have avanti.There are three purposes I require it for:Joining clipsConverting files after correction in After EffectsAnd optimizing videos for web.Re the last I had thought that the video out of APV would already be optimized for webAny idea what the best settings are if it needs converting.Thanks Lloyd
